11 TUBE UL TRAGAIN T1953 The LEVEL control The LEVEL control sets the signal gain at the input of the tube stage. Use this control to adapt the TUBE ULTRAGAIN to either home recording level (-10dBV) or professional level (+4dBu). When this level is too low the tube effect becomes less audible and the signal-to-noise ratio deteriorates. To obt ...

12 TUBE UL TRAGAIN T1953 3. 2 The TUBEULTRAGAIN as a level converter Semi-professional devices in hi-fi and home recording environments are usually operated with a nominal level of -10dBV (0.316 V), while the level used in studios is 0dBu (0.775 V) or +4dBu (1.23 V). So, when you connect devices of both types to each other, you should d ...
